L’Oreal Paris Nµde Magic Foundation Sun Beige Review, Swatches, FOTDs

Recently L’Oreal Paris introduced their Nµde Magic
foundations claiming that the foundation gives a bare skin like feel and
finish. The claim was more than enough for me get hold of these, as I mostly
avoid heavy coverage cakey foundations. Today, I will review L’Oreal Paris Nµde
Magic Foundation in the shade Sun Beige (328). Nµde Magic Foundations are available
in 6 different shades like 316 (Nµde Beige), 318 (Natural Buff), 320 (Natural
beige), 328 (Sun Beige), 330 (Classic tan) and 332 (Soft Sable). I am positive
that these shades will cater to majority of the Indian skin tones i.e. from
fair to dusky complexions, which is an important aspect to be seen when getting
a foundation.

Price:It is for 899 rupees in India.

All the detail and the list of the ingredients
are mentioned on the back side for which you will have to remove the outer
label.

Starting with the packaging. It’s made up of
glass and is a perfect rectangle that feels like a bar or a paper weight but I
somehow like it!! The bottle has a narrow opening with a purplish blue cap
which also bears the shade name and number. Mine is Sun beige 328.

Sun Beige 328 is a shade darker than my skin
color but still I can wear it as slightly darker foundation will not look that
obvious the way lighter shades can do. This shade Sun beige will go with medium
Indian complexions very well which we also commonly refer to as wheatish. The shades
in these Nµde magic foundations that L’Oreal Paris has launched in India are
either yellow based or neutral so no rosey pink hues which I personally avoid
in foundations. My jaw line is a shade darker than the rest of my face, hence
when I use it over there, the foundation will just vanish and till now, this is
the first foundation that matched my jaw line skin tone to perfection as if nothing has been used.

These foundations have a very runny
consistency. This particular feature can have both pros and cons. The annoying
thing can be you have to be extra careful while slanting or inverting this
foundation’s bottle else a lot of product will come out and run across. I wish
these L’Oreal Paris Nµde Magic
Foundations should have a pump which should have made it a lot easier to
use, just like the L’Oreal Paris infallible foundations. Now, the good thing is
that this consistency and the texture makes it an amazing product when it comes
to blending. In short, you have to be a bit extra careful while taking it out
but at the same time that consistency plays its own role in making it very easy to blend especially when I in
running late or in a rush.

It has no detectable fragrance and has a very
smooth light weight formula which when applied transforms into satiny powder.
Unlike some foundations that will take ages to blend, this Nµde Magic
Foundation is easier to blend even better
than the BB creams. It says that with
this foundation there is no need to use the sponges, brushes etc which is
correct as just like the light moisturising creams it spreads nicely, evenly.
When brushes or the sponges are used, there will be unnecessary wastage of the
product. Hence it’s better to avoid the tools.

L’Oreal Paris Nµde Magic Foundation gives a medium to sheer coverage and in spite
of it bearing a runny consistency, little bit is enough for the entire face.
Even if it layered gain, it won’t feel heavy. The formula is light weight and doesn’t
make you feel as if you’re wearing foundation. It gets into fines lines and
pores and gives a decent airbrush sought of finish, doesn’t accentuate the
wrinkles like some of the foundations may do, this is due to its fine formula
that seeps in the lines seamlessly to give a great finish.

At first I find that this Nµde Magic
Foundation has a greasy feel to it but after wearing it, the feeling wasn’t
there. It gives almost matte finish.

I have worn this foundation for around 8
hours, it was there as these days, we aren’t sweating unlike summers, I can’t
say how long it will stay in summers but it is waterproof only to certain
extent. It would transfer to clothes slightly therefore care has to be taken
while using a tissue or wiping our face in the middle of the day. On an
average, its staying span is decent and won’t let you down.

Good for oily to combination skin as well
(mine is combination)

Cons

It gives medium coverage so don’t expect heavy
coverage out of it.

Pump would have been better, that would have made
the usage hygiene and would have given extra control over how much to take out
considering the runny consistency.

Isn’t completely sweat or waterproof

Rating: 4 out of 5

Take: L’Oreal Paris Nµde Magic Foundation is an
excellent foundation at the price. This foundation can be used daily without
looking cakey as it’s easy to blend, it’s powdery satiny texture makes the
blending work very quick when in rush. It is suitable for oily to combination
skin and doesn’t clog pores with a decent staying power. The Nµde magic
foundations are available in 6 shades in India and I think the shades will go
really well with most of the Indian skin tones including the duskier complexion.
It gives a sheer to medium coverage therefore if you need heavy coverage
foundations you may skip this but I will still recommend to try this range.
